I'd suggest filing an ECR. You could also grab the error tooltip instance from the tooltip manager position it as you desire. The docs have a slightly similar example to this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=tooltips_074_13.html
Except in that example they create the tooltip themselves (which is also an option for you) :-) deepa ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ethan Miller Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 12:20 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Styling of Invalid Inputs (Urgent) Ah yes, that works. Thank you so much! Another related question... .errorTip lets you control the placement position of the errorTip, ie borderTipRight, errorTipBelow, etc. however while these options change the direction of the graphical pointer leaving the error tip, the tip itself doesn't change position, ie if you set "errorTipBelow", the pointer now points up, but since the tip didn't move, the input field is still to the left, and the pointer is pointing up at nothing... Note to Adobe... sure would be great if changing borderStyle on .errorTip also changed the tip position... the Callout component does this.... cheers, ethan Check out the errorColor style on UIComponent. This controls the color! of the highlight when valida! tion fai ls on a user interface control. By default, its red. deepa -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Ethan Miller Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 10:06 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroup!%0d%0a%20s.com> Subject: [flexcoders] Styling of Invalid Inputs (Urgent) Greetings - This question concerns the styling of inputs and the special "invalid" tooltip produced when a validator declares some input to be invalid. The Flex docs correctly point out that the invalid tooltip color can be controlled using the .errorTip css class selector, however this has no effect of the border! drawn around the invalid input, ie it stays red. Thus if I set borderColor in .errorTip to green, I get a RED border on the invalid input but with a GREEN error message tooltip, not good. Any suggestions on how to control the invalid input border color? I've tried using the invalid event to manipulate borderColor, themeColor, styleName, etc. all to no effect. I have to deliver this code today so any help would be very much appreciated! cheers! , ethan -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt> Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com <http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> Yahoo!
